Archiwum Ringelbluma. Konspiracyjne Archiwum Getta Warszawy, tom 20. Prasa getta warszawskiego: ugrupowania prawicowe

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

This volume consists of press materials issued probably from 1941 (or 1940) until 1943 by the right-wing circles: Agudat Israel, Betar (revisionists), General Zionists, and the so-called assimilators associated with the group Żagiew. In general their authors distanced themselves from leftist views but each community focused on the problems most important to them. For Agudat Israel, these were religious issues; for Betar – those related to the life and ideology of Vladimir Jabotinsky; for General Zionists – future life in Palestine and the current problems of education and upbringing; for Żagiew – the on-going struggle against the occupier and the post-war life in the restored Poland.

Argumenty i modyfikatory w gramatyce i w słowniku

Author(s): Adam Przepiórkowski / Language(s): Polish

The monograph is concerned with the issue of distinguishing arguments (actants, complements) from modifiers (circumstants, adjuncts). While this distinction is widely assumed in contemporary linguistics (also in Polish grammars and valency dictionaries), it is difficult to define it operationally. The book questions the existence of this dichotomy and proposes an approach to the formal grammar and to the valency dictionary which does not rely on this distinction.

Aspekt tematyczny w informacyjnej strukturze wypowiedzi. Rozszerzanie i integracja wiedzy

Author(s): Magdalena Danielewiczowa / Language(s): Polish

The monograph concerns Polish relativizing expressions, i.e. exponents of different aspects of objects that are spoken about. The author discusses two types of expressions which have such functions in contemporary Polish: lexical units (expressions such as pod względem, w aspekcie, jako) and operational (thematic adverbs, relativizing expressions, prepositional phrases and selected repetitive operations). Purely linguistic issues, related to signalling from which point of view and in what respect a given subject is to be characterized, introduce the researcher to the broad area of fundamental ontological and epistemological problems.

Autoekonomie zapisu Juliana Ochorowicza. Codzienne praktyki piśmienne i badawcze psychologa

Author(s): Agnieszka Sobolewska / Language(s): Polish

The book is the first attempt to comprehensively examine and describe the daily writing practices of a Polish psychologist Julian Ochorowicz (1850-1917). More than one hundred notebooks of the scientist, now stored in the archives of the library of the Ossoliński Institute in Wrocław, constitute an extraordinary and so far unexplored source of knowledge about his intimate writing practices. The author proves that the method of introspection, crucial for the psychologist and understood as constantly repeated turning towards oneself, made it possible for Ochorowicz to choose his own research path and, consequently, to abandon the well-trodden paths of scientific development.
